58 year old female has lost 20+ pounds. Stress induced IBS. Lost appetite and have insomnia. On lexapro to help with anxiety. Constipation is a problem. Does anyone have ideas on how to restore appetite? I can't seem to get past the "safe foods" stage. Not enough calories in that list.
Send advice please: romans18@juno.com or post reply on here.

If you've lost over 20 pounds I would make a docs appointment immediately and have a colonoscopy, tests, etc.

That doesn't sound very good at all!!

Hang in there!!

Have had endoscopy and full ct scan. All clear. Have emotional stressors and unresolved grief issues. Just wondering if anyone else with IBS has overcome loss of appetite. There is no organic reason known.
